Rights in Crisis and Emergencies

IDEALS employs a two-pronged approach in helping survivors of crises and disasters through the provision of legal services and recognition of information as aid. Apart from conducting legal missions, reconstructing legal identity, and influencing policies, we have also established radio programs and online campaigns to ensure that the communities have access to accurate and reliable information.
